🎉 Red Panda Cub Gender Reveal Party Comes to Chattanooga Zoo

The Chattanooga Zoo is hosting a special celebration for Masala, a young red panda cub, with a gender reveal event that brings together animal enrichment, interactive activities, and community fun. The event offers zoo visitors a rare chance to participate in a milestone moment for one of the facility’s newest residents.

🐾 What to Expect at the Celebration

The gender reveal party features a full afternoon of activities designed for families and animal enthusiasts. Guests can decorate cookies at a dedicated station, participate in red panda-themed games and activities, and collect limited edition Masala trading cards. The highlight comes at 2:30 p.m., when one lucky visitor will reveal Masala’s gender to the entire gathering-and receive a one-of-a-kind red panda painting created by Masala’s mother, Saffron, as a keepsake. 🎨

🍧 Food, Fun, and Animal Encounters

Beyond the reveal itself, the event includes cotton candy from a local vendor, special animal enrichment demonstrations, and meet-and-greet opportunities with zoo staff. These interactive elements help visitors connect directly with the animals and learn more about red panda care and conservation. ✨

💡 How to Participate

The best part for families is that participation in all activities is free with general admission or a Zoo membership. Visitors interested in attending can purchase tickets through the zoo’s website. The event runs from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., giving families flexibility to arrive and enjoy the celebration at their own pace. 🎟️
